| 9:15 | Rob Krakehl – AP 1 Fluids AP Physics 1 is once again undergoing a change! While we may feel like we are sometimes treading water with this course, this workshop is here to help you learn to float! I will show you everything you need to know to make your students successful for the newly added Fluids unit. We will discuss the Standards, sample problems, a sample timeline and sequence for the material, and several experiments and the required equipment to conduct them. I will also share all the materials that I have developed in my several years of teaching the Fluids unit in my AP Physics 2 course. |
| 10:15 | Coffee Break |
| 10:45 | Rich Gearns – Increasing Physics Enrollment Rich Gearns will lead us in a discussion about student enrollment in physics, and will help us brainstorm ideas to increase enrollment |
| 11:00 | Justin King and Rich Slesinski – NYSSLS Assessments Your students may be taking a Physics Regents based on the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) as early as June 2026. What will that exam look like? We don’t know for sure, but we have some ideas. We will share test samples from NYS elementary and intermediate-level NYSSLS-based exams, Next Generation physics test samples from other states, and dissect the new standards to see what questions on the new Physics Regents should look like. |
